Raspberry & Chocolate Chia Pudding

October 3, 2016

Hey everyone, I hope you’re having a great start to the week. Mine is crazy busy, since I started a new photography course a couple of weeks ago. I’ve wanted to improve my photography and advance for quite a while now, but the online courses just didn’t interest me enough. I need a real human person teaching me and I like the interaction. The course is given by our local town hall, so it’s ridiculously cheap, it’s 4 hours a week and I am already learning so much 🙂 It’s like I’ve been going at turtle speed and have suddenly been propelled into turbo mode 😀

Plus I love learning new things and giving my brain a workout. And in the spirit of that, I also signed up for another course, which I just completed this weekend – Bach Flower Remedies. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a system of 38 different flower extracts, where each one can help you deal with a specific issue/emotion and you mix them according to whatever you need help with at that moment. I already used them a few years back, when I was going through a huge change in my life and they helped me enormously, so I wanted to learn to mix them myself and the course was fascinating. I definitely recommend it if you’re into natural therapies and energy healing.

But onto today’s recipe… I actually made and shot this Raspberry & Chocolate Chia Pudding a few weeks ago but I haven’t had a chance to share it yet. We now have a trilogy of chia puddings on the blog, I sang all its praises in Mango & Coconut Chia Pudding and then continued with a second instalment of Kiwi Chia Pudding Parfaits. As I’ve said over and over again, they are extremely quick and simple to make, very nutritious and leave you feeling full for a long time.

In today’s Raspberry & Chocolate Chia Pudding, the acidity of the raspberries counteracts the bitterness of raw cacao and the sweetness of maple syrup to create such a great combination. I garnished my puddings with fresh raspberries, cacao nibs and coconut flakes, but use whatever you fancy or have on hand.

Enjoy and I hope to be back with a calmer and longer post next week.
